SQL & PL/SQL :: Instr Function And Index Usage
Apr 14, 2012I have a requirement where the user input values will be passed as comma separated string to backend, which is queried against the table using instr. But the index present on the table is not using the index , due to the instr function.How can I create a index in such a way that The instr function uses it.
CREATE TABLE TEST_IDX
(
CCN VARCHAR2(10 CHAR),
SKU_NUM VARCHAR2(10 CHAR),
MOD VARCHAR2(10 CHAR),
SKU_STATUS VARCHAR2(2 CHAR),
RPT_FLAG VARCHAR2(2 CHAR),
CYCLE_AS_OF_DATE DATE,
SMP_IDENTIFIER NUMBER,
MEASURE_NAME VARCHAR2(100 CHAR)
);
CREATE INDEX TEST_IDX1 ON TEST_IDX
(CCN, SMP_IDENTIFIER, MOD, CYCLE_AS_OF_DATE, RPT_FLAG,
MEASURE_NAME);
The below query is going for full table scan due to this.
select * from test_idx where (INSTR (','||'E10000'||',', ',' || ccn || ',') <> 0 OR 'E10000' = 'DEFAULT')
and mod='90396' and rpt_flag='O' and smp_identifier=2
how to recreate the above index so that these queries uses this index.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Instr Versus DBMS_LOB.instr / Search A Pattern Backwards In A CLOB Field?
Mar 10, 2012I need to search a pattern backwards in a CLOB field.Function DBMS_LOB.instr does not work with '-1' offset (where to start the search) as instr does.
Parameters: instr(text_to_be_searched, pattern, offset, nth)
Example: I want to search 'Hello world' for the first instance of the letter 'o' starting from the end, backwards.As you can see, result for DBMS_LOB.instr is null when entered -1 for offset.
select
DBMS_LOB.instr('Hello world','o',-1,1) lob_i,
instr('Hello world','o',-1,1) std_i
from dual;
SQL & PL/SQL :: Update Using Replace Function?
May 5, 2011I have a table called email that contains a field called email
I have a few records in the table that contain example@hotmial.com and want to change the hotmial to hotmail
I also have some that are line example@hotmail.co and I want to change those to hotmail.com
so - I want to do a substring search and replace.
can the replace do this for me in one select statement - how do I structure the sql to do this?
Function To Replace All Occurrences Of A String?
Jan 9, 2007Years ago, someone created a database in Oracle that was carried over and now sits in Oracle 10g. I am developing an application that queries this database and returns the result as XML.
Many (thousands) of rows have an item description that contains an ampersand. I want each of these pieces of data to have it written as & amp; (had to add a space so it would show up here, but you know what I mean) instead of &, but I don't feel like doing thousands of UPDATEs to change this.
Does Oracle have any global find/replace functions that I can call? I'd rather do one update statement that replaces all occurances of & with & amp; but I can't seem to find a function that will do this.
I'm thinking something that would work like:
UPDATE table SET column1=REPLACE(column1,oldstr,newstr);

Performance Tuning :: Getting Alternative To REPLACE Function?
Jun 12, 2010I have a table with:
1 million rows
average row length 200 bytes
50 columns
and this update statement
UPDATE mytable SET varchar2_4000_column = replace(replace(replace...300 times)
It looks at every row in the table (no WHERE clause) and does these 300 replace operations on this column for each row. Each replace replaces with a null so effectively it is removing strings. Much of the time these strings are not in the column.
This update statement takes 25 minutes and it is 98% CPU and 2% USER_IO time.
I figure that is what is taking all the time since it is a CPU bound statement. if rows in this table are persistent over time then tag rows with a flag to show which ones have already been processed and skip these next time around.

As it would not find any 'line' inside the string.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Using INSTR In Where Clause To Give COMPLETE MATCH Strings?
Dec 9, 2011We have a SSRS Front end screen which sends multi-select column values as comma separated strings to back end ( Oracle 10g) procedure .
The procedure builds the string by inserting single quotes in the following manner.
P_BU_LST is the parameter which have comma separated values
'1234,3456,4577' i.e, BU ids selected by user in front end
the procedure inserts single quotes to this paramer value
i.e., '1234','3456','4577
v_bu_lst := '''' || REPLACE(v_selbu, ',', ''',''')|| '''';
This is used the where clause of the REF CURSOR SELECT query which send the data back to SSRS
ie.,
SELECT BU.*
FROM BU_DETAIL BU
WHERE INSTR(V_BU_LST,BU_ID) <> 0;
INSTR has a chance to fail in this scenario if the value send from the front end is 123456,3456,4577
here 123456 does not exist in table, but it will be true for INSTR and values 1234 from table will be send back to SSRS which is wrong. Earlier I was using a function to convert the comma separated values to multi-rows and treat it like a lookup table.
But the main table has around million records , and each row has to processed against each row of lookup table, which makes it slower. To avoid this I used INSTR which is faster but can give wrong results.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Replace Comma With '�10'?
Jan 23, 2012TestCase
DROP TABLE test ;
CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER, cnt_str VARCHAR2(200));
INSERT INTO test (id, cnt_str) VALUES
(1,'AKRN000002,1451-1473,00000A,74,AKRN000002,1475-14791000000A,8010AKRN000002,1481-1492,00000A,9310AKRN000002,1494-1500')
[code]...
The requirement is in each of the string where there is comma after the number and the number is prefixed by "-" character,
the comma after the number should be replaced by '10'.
For example in the second record where ID = 2,
CNT_STR is '00000B,1-251000000D,26-32,ADTW000301,2858-2875'.
In this string -32, should become -3210 and resulting string should be '00000B,1-251000000D,26-3210ADTW000301,2858-2875'
Expected Result.
ID CNT_STR

How To Replace Leading Wildcards
Jan 16, 2011So many of the queries in our database query by an account but an account is allowed to vary by prefix and so queries are written similar to account like '%suffix'
Our DBA has rejected the use of context indexes and friends to deal with this.
as an aside and I'm probably going to regret going into this much detail but our model is
A->>B->>C
typically the queries want to fetch C's for a customer defined by A.account
A, B, C are all partitioned with partition key created_date
however, only C is typically queried with created_date as a qualifier. A and B are related by joins from A->>B and B->>C
when queries are written to use '%' leading wildcards often it results in a full table scan across multiple partitions. on any given day all we care about are the most recent C's for the customer where customer is defined by A.account.
I recently had an idea whereby fields such as A.Account could also be kept(denormalized) in the C table
the idea is if the queries were written to use C.account like '%bla' instead of A.account like '%bla' then because C is always qualified with the partition key ie. C.created_date that would at worst result in a full partition scan only. this is considerably less expensive than doing a full table scan of A. The IO cost of doing that is huge.
populating the C.account is a simple before insert or update trigger. when you insert a C you have a foreign key to a B and B has a foreign key to A. A and B are always created before any C is seen for any given C. When a C is seen A and B already exist in the database.
